As it is the 30th Anniversary of Fantasia, we (well, I on behalf of the team and site) will reshare reviews we\u2019ve done for the fest including those done during the fest and those done for films that have played at the fest that we reviewed at other times to give an idea of the scope of Fantasia and how important it is for the film industry as a whole.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1997, the before-before times, when neither Felix or myself were reviewing (it was my first year going to the fest), when we were wee baby film nerds. This doesn’t mean that the site doesn’t have any reviews from Fantasia 2000, it just means they came later, much later. So, there are no official fest reviews from 2014 to 1996 on Cinema-Crazed. This won\u2019t keep me from pulling reviews of films that have played the fest that year and we have covered one way or another.<\/p>\n

From Emilie:
\nThe Bare-Footed Kid<\/a>
\nBlack Mask<\/a><\/p>\n

From Jeremy:
\nBurial Ground<\/a><\/p>\n

From Felix:
\nDust Devil<\/a>
\nGhost in the Shell<\/a>
\nPerfect Blue (film)<\/a>
\nPerfect Blue (physical media)<\/a>
\nThe Revenge of Frankenstein<\/a>
\nWhisper of the Heart<\/a><\/p>\n

As we constantly review new films, classics, and re-releases, this list is only complete as of right this moment (at time of posting) and will likely become incomplete at some point.<\/p>\n
